Keep the faith. It can change. Oscar Charleston came into my league at 18 and was an injury mess. His first season, he played 132 games, which is fine. The four seasons after that went: 75, 56, 69, and 28 games before he finally had a 160 game season in 1953 (ironically his last season before he hit free agency at age 23). He then signed a seven year contract worth a total of $894,000 (stunning money for 1953 - richest in league history I think, though I've not been following that too closely), and in the first two years of that deal has played 146 and 161 games.
